He was called One-Reed Topiltzin Quetzalcoatl. As legend had it, Topiltzin was a white-skinned, bearded man who came to be known as the "White God." Because of his gentle and reforming nature, the extreme conservatives of that day rose up against him and banished him from the Valley. Quetzalcoatl promised he would return to his land in the Mexican religious year of One-Reed, the anniversary of his death. The author, in tracing the roots of the White God legend, paints a fascinating portrait of the Indian civilization that flourished in the Valley of Mexico. It is a picture filled with tribal wars, monumental temples, delicate handicrafts, and the splendor of an ancient world that bore within it the seeds of its on destruction.
